OK HERE’S MOST OF THE MOTHFRIEND SHIT I HAVE
HIS NAME IS EÓGHAN BE KIND TO HIM
Also I am never drawing in that style again holy fuck I forgot how much I hate drawing lineless
Brief rundown of his backstory under the cut (bc it’s changed a fair amount)
(For context) The Order of the Old Flame (OOF) is a cult that originated from a small group of moths who left Hallownest when PK took over, they fled to a small village MILES away in a tundra, and over the course of a few thousand years, dug their claws into the very foundations of the kingdom that became of it.
Signs of their reverence of the Radiance are everywhere, but most notably architecture, which are emblazoned with suns and clouds and dream catchers (this will be important later)
SO
Eóghan’s mother grew up in OOF, and is the older sister of the Seer (the leader, aka the one who’s seen as the most ‘in touch’ with the Radiance (all moths possess some type of dream magic, some stronger than others))
She met his father, a man living outside of the city in a small cottage with his mother
Etc etc they fell in love, had Eóghan, all was right with the world
Until OOF finds them, they have spies everywhere after all. The Seer and some OOF members resolve to eradicate the traitor and the one who has poisoned her mind, setting the cottage on fire in the middle of the night, with all but the old woman inside (who is staying in the city overnight, having been held back and forced to book a hotel)
Before setting the house alight, the Seer finds Eóghan, barely a year old, and decides to “save” him, raising him as her own.
Years later, miles away, a vessel destroys the dream goddess in her own realm, and the very foundations of the kingdom shake with her screams. The death of a god is something that every living being can feel, even if it’s just through a pervasive feeling of wrongness.
A disillusioned Eóghan takes the commotion as an opportunity to escape, almost being stopped by a dagger to the hand from his aunt, who is one of the most effected by Radi’s death, barely able to stay on her feet.
Eóghan manages to escape out into the cold, but with only a thin shirt, trousers and leather boots to protect from the cold, coupled with a steadily bleeding knife wound, he’s not long outside of the city before he collapses.
CONVENIENTLY on the road where a certain old lady is going into the city to sell some goods from her farm.
Long story short bc this is getting long!!! Old lady nurses him back to health, and he repays her by helping her round her farm. Eóghan is a VERY angry boy after realising that not only was his entire life and belief system built on a lie, but his auntie, basically his MOTHER, cares more about her faith than her son, would rather try to kill him than let him leave, or goddess forbid go with him. SO. Old lady teaches him how to be a healthy, mostly emotionally stable person!!!
A few years later, she passes away, but not before telling Eóghan that she would be so proud to have him as a grandson. He never does find out the truth. But as far as he’s concerned?? That’s his nana, blood relative or not.
Even more years later!! (Reminder that they meet about 8 years after Holly nerfs the Radiance) Hollow is kidnapped by a combination of PHFTT (PK’s killers in case u forgot) and OOF, and they manage to escape by the skin of their teeth, being injured and draining their magic in the process (they’re not difficult to kill, per say, but there are a LOT of them, and killing people is kinda hard when ur tied up with a concussion)
Eóghan, seeing this VERY interesting looking person passed out in the snow, decides “AGH fuck it!!” And takes them in
Queue meet cute!!! (meet ugly?? I wouldn’t class waking up in a strangers house after a near death experience a meet cute)

When it comes to celebrating their birthdays, Steve and Eddie give each other their undivided attention. Growing up they never got to experience decent birthdays where the day wasn’t dedicated to them even though it was supposed to be. Eddie spent majority of his birthday on the other side of town with his friends causing trouble and hoping that his parents would somewhat care about him not being home but when he returned home both of them would be asleep in bed as if their son wasn’t missing for almost five hours. Any form of affection that Eddie desperately wanted from his parents was never received as long as they lived under their roof, when he moved in with Wayne all of that changed and he finally got celebrate his birthday even if he was getting a little to old to go all out for it.
Steve always had the biggest parties but none them felt like it was for him but it was supposed make his parents look like good human beings which wasn’t true and Steve knew that behind closed doors every gift that belonged to him always disappeared in the middle of the night without an explanation. If he complained Steve would have to live with the consequences of his father. The older Steve got he understood why his parents took his gifts, they had their suspicions about his sexuality for awhile since he stopped dating for a long time which he thought was ridiculous because that simply wasn’t true or at least during that time it wasn’t. Fast forward to now, Steve came out to his parents and they weren’t exactly happy about their son not ending up with girl next door type. Instead he introduced them to Eddie who was a better choice than what his parents had in mind, Steve couldn’t have asked for a better boyfriend to spend the rest of his life with.
It was obvious that Steve’s parents were not going to accept both of them even though they were just two people in love like everyone else in town there was nothing different about them. Eddie told him that there was no point in trying to convince them to change their minds, if they truly cared about him they would love him unconditionally and that was a hard pill for Steve to swallow. Overtime both of them were able to stop seeing their birthdays as a terrible thing and made it into a day that surrounded them spending quality time together. Just them exchanging cute little gifts for each other and cuddling in Eddie’s bed while they talk about how their going to grow old together. Eddie thinks he’d look awful with grey hair but Steve would absolutely rock it, Steve disagrees though because with Eddie’s hair being so long he thinks he would look like a Greek god. That made both of them laugh and they kissed each other softly as they wrapped their arms tighter around each other. Now that they were together they loved celebrating their birthdays as long as they were by each other’s side.

If someone is prefers their partners be smaller/skinnier than them, and they’re talking about why they’re attracted to someone or what they enjoy about those partners, they’re probably going to talk about picking that person up, or when that person wears their oversized clothes, or how easy it is to put their arms completely around that person. That isn’t inherently fetishizing or dehumanizing, it’s how physical attraction works.
If someone prefers their partners be notably muscular, and they’re talking about why they’re attracted to someone or what they enjoy about those partners, they’re probably going to talk about that person’s physical capability, and bear hugs, and being picked up or moved around. That isn’t inherently fetishizing or dehumanizing, it’s how physical attraction works.
If someone prefers their partners be fat, and they’re talking about why they’re attracted to someone or what they enjoy about those partners, they’re probably going to talk about the fact that that person is fat. They are going to talk about soft tummies and soft thighs. They are going to talk about cuddles, and the soft squishy body, and the characteristics that come from being fat. That isn’t inherently fetishizing or dehumanizing, it’s how physical attraction works.
If we’re talking about some rando leaving graphic comments on stranger’s pictures or whatever, then yeah, that’s weird regardless of body type or appearance, but getting twisted into knots about people expressing attraction to plus-sized bodies in a way that is unique to the attraction to plus-sized bodies is... wild.
Fetishization specifically refers to the reduction of a human being to a selection of assumed characteristics they may or may not possess. It is the act of treating a human being like a trope. Saying that a fat person looks like they give nice hugs isn’t fetishizing, it’s attraction, and it’s normal.
